pH 7.2 NH4 0.25 , NO2 0 , NO3 0. Temp : 25 C

It's a filter. I did a 50% yesterday , my tap water contains ammonia so it would get worse if I changed too often. I put the filter on setting B (he was getting stressed on A) with a plastic filter baffle that people make to reduce the flow for Bettas . Are you sure about turning it off ?

I found something in a fishkeeping book , however it doesn't explain how to stop the behaviour.

I can make the flow like a vertical spray bar . Like I said , Dad's stingy. My parents won't drive me to the LFS until the weekend . What can I do to help him ? He looks really unhappy ...

Stingy means unwilling to spend money

LED strip lights as my Dad is stingy and won't buy me proper ones. I know they don't like strong current , which is why I baffled the filter. But the current is stronger now I've put the flow as you suggested. Yes, he's still very stressed .

Sorry , my camera quality is rubbish. The cloudiness is due to me accidentally stirring up my sand when I was fixing the filter. Sorry .

Like this ? The plastic is the baffle. He's still pacing the glass though.

My filter output is too strong , I had to baffle it as he was getting swept around the tank. How do I get it to push air in ?

There isn't an air pump & bubbler , but there is an internal power filter.

Yeah , I turned off the lights to not stress him out too much . I do 50% water changes every week. I'm really sorry but I don't think I should get another dwarf gourami because the males kill each other and my LFS doesn't sell the females. Unless you mean I should get another type of fish .

Please help me out , my new dwarf gourami ( I got him yesterday) keeps swimming up and down the glass vertically at mad speeds then hiding behind the filter : Dwarf gourami ill Pictures, Dwarf gourami ill Images, Dwarf gourami ill Photos, Dwarf gourami ill Videos - Video - TinyPic - Free Image...

Please help me :( He has red streaks on his body now . It's upsetting to see this and not know what to do ..

Also , is that a corn cob in the tank ? What does it do ?

Well , that's a lot less cloudy than mines went >.< Are you doing that really intense water change schedule thing ?
